SPRING 1986 RCA SUBMISSIONS This set of programs has hopefully something for everyone. Directories and contents are BRIEFLY summarized here. Look at AAAREADME.1ST, README.1ST, and other manual files and .RNO files for further information. [312,371] New release of AnalytiCalc. Many bugfixes and new features since Fall '85 including more string functions, a CHOOSE function, and some internal improvements related to storage use. Also the AAINSTALL.COM file does installation for VMS and command file and program documents are much improved. Another late addition is input and output "areas" which allow you to connect ANY application or DBMS to AnalytiCalc. Before you go buying an expensive spreadsheet, try this one first. It does generally MORE than the expensive ones and is also quite easy on your system. It does not need special privileges and can be built from source. It introduces NO security holes in VMS. Also in this area: DATMG*.* is a complete relational DBMS in src. with docs. Dearchive with ARCH and build with the .COM files included. (Use a scratch empty directory.) [312,345] Document area (and old VMS version) AnalytiCalc. The documents are better done and there's a reference card file for a handy reference to all commands and functions. [312,375] Object libraries for AnalytiCalc for those who don't have Fortran. You can install from these libraries. Also task images for RSX and POS for those who don't have the F77 compiler. [312,315] This area contains some useful odds and ends. Among them are RSX Focal, and LIST, a multicolumn lister, with the ASSLUN module needed to get around a VAX/RSX bug. If you have a compat mode program crashing VAX/RSX V2.0, try linking ASSLUN into it rather than using the default one from SYSLIB. This will get around a bug in the AME that fails to range check LUN assignments. The problem should be resolved in VAX/RSX V2.1 (one hopes).
